The artistic genius of Athens in the 5th century BC culminated in the relief marble panels of the Parthenon's Frieze. The original composition of the Frieze and its precise meaning have been the focus of lively discussion. Designed by Phidias and carved by a team of anonymous sculptors, the Frieze adorned the temple of Athena on the Acropolis and depicts a festive procession in honor of the Olympian gods. Through photographs and drawings, this authentic book reconstructs the Frieze in its entirety according to the most updated research, with detailed scene-by-scene commentary. The exceptional quality of the carving is revealed through a series of close-up photographs. In his introductory text, Ian Jenkins places the Frieze in its architectural, historical, and artistic context. He discusses the various interpretations proposed by previous scholars and ultimately suggests a new perspective.
